"We recently relocated from Kansas City, MO, to the East Coast and decided to take a train from Philadelphia to New York City for lunch at Blue Smoke. We were not disappointed! The ribs were served wet and very moist, while the chicken, seasoned with a dry rub, was perfectly cooked—something often hard to find elsewhere. The mac and cheese could’ve benefited from a bit more smokiness, but the sweet beans and excellent coleslaw made up for it. For an appetizer, we tried the Texas Twinkies and were so impressed that I plan to replicate them at home. I don't have much experience with white BBQ sauce, but I found it quite good on the chicken. The BBQ sauce had a North Carolina flair, which I also enjoyed. All in all, this is the closest experience we've had to Kansas City-style BBQ on the East Coast. We will definitely be returning!"
